A High School Band Director Resigns After Her Porn Star Alter Ego Is Discovered

In this day and age, it’s pretty much unreasonable for anyone to expect that secrets stay, well, secret online… especially if those secrets involve engaging in some highly explicit sexual activities on camera. It’s for precisely this reason that a 31-year-old high school assistant band director, Kristin Sundman, was recently forced to resign from her position after eight years at Kent, Ohio’s Theodore Roosevelt High School.

Last week, videos surfaced of Sundman on several X-rated websites performing sexual acts both with other women and by herself. On Tuesday, Sundman was placed on administrative leave and she later resigned over the weekend. It’s unclear exactly how the videos were discovered, but I think we can all wager a guess that working with horny teenage boys is not exactly conducive to keeping an X-rated internet personality concealed.

A (NSFW) search for Twitter mentions of @melodyXXXtune suggests that Sundman has appeared on ItsCleoLive.com, a porn site full of “kinky hardcore vids and pics.”

The former assistant band director has also appeared to have been a porn performer at SunnyLaneLive.com (“the Girl Next Door…”) and, of course, on Pornhub.com. On Monday afternoon, Pornhub removed its melodyXXXtune videos “at the request of the copyright owner.”

Theodore Roosevelt High School superintendent George Joseph says that the school was shocked to learn the news of their former assistant band leader, but will be performing an investigation “to make sure that [their] students are safe.”

These things are always a shame. I can see how it might pose a problem if it became a distraction for students but shouldn’t that only be addressed if it actually BECOMES a problem that can’t be handled any other way? It’s seems like automatic resignation or dismissal isn’t really necessary.
